Regarding competitions, any inquiry, request for information or likewise, must be answered within 14 days (some competitions may require shorter time), otherwise the prize will be given to someone else. In case contact info is not filled out correctly, or missing, we reserve the right to pick another winner, or declare the participant "non-communicating". After the first initial contact, all contact must be answered within 24 hours. Prizes are only shipped within the EU (With a few specific exceptions) - If you do not live in an EU country, personal payed taxes may occur, and we cannot legally reimburse you or similar. In case the competition requires you to attend a physical event or likewise - answering requests within 48 hours is mandatory, else another will be chosen/declared the winner/get to go. Employees of Gamereactor or its subsidiaries cannot participate or win in any competition or event held by Gamereactor or in direct partnership with Gamereactor.

Eligibility to participate depends on the top-level domain. Unless stated otherwise, you have to be a legal national citizen, living in, and with an official address of the country in question. This means Swedes can only participate or win in competitions held at Gamereactor.se, Portugese in Gamereactor.pt etc.

Some competitions have pan-nordic, or multiple participating countries, and some countries will be allowed to deviate due to mix-ing. This especially applies to the pan-nordic area.

Any attempt at cheating will result in a perma-ban from competitions and tournaments held by Gamereactor. On a practical level, your user/competition entry will either be suspended, deleted or frozen without warning shortly before the competition starts, with no option of changing this. Any user/score that cant be veyfied is forefeit. It is your own responsibility to make sure that your score and user is valid, this includes not changing user or in-game names during the tournament etc. Rule of thumb, if Google cant find your your username, neither can Gamereactor, and you are out of the tournament.

No appeals are possible, and users cant be unbanned. At least three members of staff have looked at the evidence before you are declared as a cheater, and are perma-banned.

Giving false name, participating with multiple accounts/names/users is a direct perma-ban. Offensive team and user-names are not allowed either, Gamereactor decides in full if a name is offensive or not. No appeal is possible, and the name must be changed right away or the team can get banned.
